## Definition
**FHIR**, or **Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources**, is a standard for exchanging clinical and administrative health information through defined resources and interfaces.
## Neural-Interface Context
FHIR forms part of the clinical boundary around neural-interface data. It can connect devices, observations, imaging references, procedures, identities, and care context to broader health records, while specialized neurophysiology and imaging formats preserve domain-specific detail.
